Hello,
I am currently trying to get a deployment ready in an attempt to migrate
my
wiki from apache to nginx and php-fpm. Things have gone pretty smoothly
so
far, but I am having a real problem with rewrite rules. Here is what is
currently in my apache config for a rewrite:
<Directory "/var/www/ws/wiki">
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?title=$1 [PT,L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^(images|skins)\/(.*)$ http://images.testsite.com/$1/$2 [L]
</Directory>
I have tried adding this a couple of different ways into the nginx
config
file but it isn't working. Can someone give me a hand with this? Also,
where
can I find docs on the rewrite functionality within nginx?
I appreciate any and all help,
Andrew

See http://wiki.codemongers.com/NginxHttpRewriteModule.
Assuming your doc root is /var/www/ws, try
location /wiki/ {
if (!-e $request_filename) {
rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php?title=$1 last;
}
rewrite ^/(images|skins)\/(.*)$ http://images.testsite.com/$1/$2 last;
}
You may need to add a forward slash in front of http in the second line.
Good luck,
Jim
